📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab! Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active? Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this. If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me. 🏔️ 🦠 💤 🧬 🎓

Greta Thunberg a su llegada al aeropuerto de Atenas: "Podría hablar mucho tiempo sobre malos tratos y abusos que hemos sufrido en prisión. Créanme, pero esa no es la historia. Lo que pasa ahora mismo es que Israel sigue intensificando el genocidio y la destrucción masiva contra el pueblo palestino".
It is a pleasure to attend @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social and CEESME from @isme-microbes.bsky.social and meet great scientist and friends @tijanamartin.bsky.social @piwoszomonas.bsky.social
Conferences are not only about sharing research, but also about meeting friends, discovering new ideas, and listening to inspiring talks, even outside of my own field. @cristian-vi-al.bsky.social delivering excellence, as usual 😊 #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social @isme-microbes.bsky.social

Genocidio, exterminio y aniquilación en Gaza. Imágenes del horror. Niños palestinos heridos con sufrimiento infinito sacados de escombros y llevados en vehículo tras bombardeo de los criminales genocidas de Israel sobre tiendas de campaña. Holocausto en vivo. No dejes de hablar de Palestina.

Evergreen reminder that wind turbines are not even remotely a leading cause of human-driven bird mortality. This is classic concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they really cared about birds they'd focus on domestic cats and building glass. And what's not shown here: climate change.
Trump: "Wind is a very expensive form of energy. It's very bad for your beautiful surroundings, the plains and the valleys and the birds are dying all over the place." He then repeats his lie about China not having wind farms.

Particle attachment drives seasonal abundance and photoheterotrophy of marine aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #jcampubs
Transcript-based libraries and BChla concentration indicated that AAP bacteria prefered particle-attached lifestyle and their phototrophy varied between lifestyles and seasons. Traditional DNA assessments may misrepresent photoheterotrophic capacities in the sea. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Amazing work by @rodrisanchez95.bsky.social et al. on viral-host dynamics. Congratulations :)
Thrilled to share the first part of my PhD, published today in The ISME Journal! A wonderful collaboration with Akash Arani (co-first author), @joshuasweitz.bsky.social , and @mkrupovic.bsky.social . Huge thanks to my mentors Fer and Pepa for their constant support. Let’s keep going! #phage

Ojalá muchos hubiesen hablado así de claro en sus casas a sus hijos, los derechos que aún tenemos se pelearon y costaron sangre, sudor, lagrimas y vidas. No cayeron del cielo y desde luego ni la extrema derecha ni los fascistas nos los regalaron. Nos falta memoria y comunicación

Ho diré una sola vegada: aquelles persones que vos mireu la política des de l’altra banda de la pantalla i que des del vostre sofà sou capaces de dir que el País Valencià està sentenciat i que tornarem a votar PP en les pròximes eleccions, CALLEU LA PUTA BOCA I BAIXEU AL CARRER

Continua la #frescoreta. Porteu el ron i la cola que jo pose el gel.
Completely excited about the new project #MSCA in @leibnizigb.bsky.social with #Hans-Peter_Grossart to study the influence of trophic status and eutrophication in AAP bacteria🧬🦠. Forever grateful with @piwoszomonas.bsky.social and #Pepa_Antón for their unconditional support ❤️
The pleasure is mine, having the chance to work with and learn from you @piwoszomonas.bsky.social After all, Gdynia might be better than Gdansk :)
@cristian-vi-al.bsky.social , who I had the pleasure and privilege to supervise in his PhD journey, has been nominated for the #EFFS award for his awesome work. Let's all keep fingers crossed for him 😊🤞
